What are we living for? 活着为什么？ 
From a deeper perspective, the values of life that most people are pursuing cannot withstand the test of death — however successful the career is, or however great the wealth is, in face of death, they are just as transient and fragile as bubbles. 从更深一层来看 多数人所追求的人生价值 更经不起死亡的审视 再大的事业，再多的财富 在死亡面前，都像泡沫般脆弱短暂 02
When a career comes to an end, what is left of our life? Looking back into history, even emperors who had conquered and ruled the world for some time eventually perished and returned to dust. 当事业结束时 为我们的生命留下什么 回顾历史 哪怕贵为帝王 称霸一时 同样是灰飞烟灭 03
Hence, all external possessions will vanish. When all these are gone, it is their impact on our life that should be pondered. 所以外在一切都是要过去的 当这些成为回忆 给生命带来什么影响 才是我们真正应该重视的 04
Mencius once said, “Everyone could become sages like Yao and Shun.” 孟子说：“人人皆可为尧舜 ” 05
In the view of Buddhism, every living being innately has the same virtuous nature as that of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In other words, every living being has Buddha nature. 佛教则认为 每个生命都具有潜在的 佛菩萨那样的高尚品质 也就是众生本具的佛性 06 
On one hand, our mind creates various afflictions. On the other hand, it also has the ability to dissolve these afflictions. 我们的心固然会制造种种烦恼 但同时也具备解除烦恼的能力 07
If we do not develop such ability, we will be trapped in endless Samsara, because ignorance, like a perpetual motion machine, produces suffering and keeps us blindly drifting and being lost in the ocean of suffering. 若不开发这一能力 轮回将永无止境 因为无明就是制造痛苦的永动机 使我们在苦海中沉沦辗转、迷失方向 |
